the receipt Of the Report of Cover

Territory intact. The Gem of the
Mountains will in good time make a

the Union. If any Territory mus
be partitioned, let it be Utah. With
more gentiIes than Mormons, the par

of the abonination of polygamy, and
in time be- tfiade decent. But So

CRIMINALLY CARELESS.
A Yacht Loaded Almost to the Sun
Wales with Women and Children
from Brooklyn Capsizad.
Only Ten PeopIs out of Thirty .Eeven Known
To Be Saved-Ths Accident Due TO
the Captains ReckIessnegs.

New YORK, July 1.-THE sloop yacht
Mystery left Ruffle Bar Island in Consrsie
bay at o'clock last evening, loaded al
most to the gunwales with women and
children. When of Barren Island, en-
route for Conarsie the yacht capstzed and
only thirteen of the forty souls C0mpos-
ing her passengers and crew ere known
to have been rescued.
The party which was involved in this
terrible disaster was made up Chiefly of
German families, resident in Brooklyn
The Mystery and its precious load swung
of from Rutiie Bar pier at I O'Clock,
quickly followed by the Christians, with
more of this party,
Captain Hcnrickson Of the Mystery said
that he was going to get to Conarsie first
or blow slick out. The women made
most earnest protest against any more
sail. Captain HenriCkson persisted in
MS order for more sail. The reef knobs
were unfGstened and the boom dropped
Just as squat of considerable violence
struck the sail. In q second she was on
her beam ends and all the people were
struggling in the choppy sea. The
catastrophe was witnessed from g tug
which was then over two miles
distant. For five minutes the yacht re-
NAMED on her beam ends, and the
shrOuds and bulWarks afforded some hold
for the engulfed people. The struggle
for place to hold on 10 was awful. Fully
half Of the drowning people were chill
dreu. Mothers made frantic efforts TO
get their little ones to where they could
hold on TO something. One after another
they were swept off in the ttdeWay, and
buOyed by their clothing. Their hands
moved in frantic and unavailing appeals
for help. Some time before the Dean got
near enough to be Of service & negro put
out from Barren island in q row boat and
wss first to aid the drowning people.
Altogether seven of the lives
saved are TO be credited solely
to his efforts. When the Dean arrived
there were few Of the victims still above
the surface. As she neared a woman
floating trying to buoy up her fCur-year-
old child, man On guard suddenly eX-
claimed: "My God. this is my wife"
and dived 10 ner aid. The woman had
already lost her grip on the child, and
was about sinking. When he reached the
surface ne had the choice of saving her
or the child, and he chose his wife. He
with mis- burden was soon drawn aboard
the Dean, but the child sank before their
eyes. The Deans willing passengers and
crew succeeded in rescu!Dg five alive.
The best advices estimate the whole load
at thirtY-seven, and the number OF those
saved only ten.
About ! O'Clock this afternoon the
sloop5 Homsn and Veto arrived ct
Canarise, having in tow the unfortunate
fsioop Mystery. After bailing the water
outeIeven bodies we're found. Thirteen
bodies have so far been recovered.

TERRELL ASYLUM LIBRARY,
Congressman Abbott's Contribution to the
ReavIs Library.
NORTH TEXAS INSANE ASYLUM,

NORTH TEXAS INSANE ASYLUM
TERRELL, TEX, July 9, 1857.
Hon. 10 Abbott, Congressman Elect, HIS
boro, Tex:
DEAR SIR received by to-day's mail q
letter and an express package containing
the Charles Lambs Works complete in
three volumes, The Orphan Boy, A Sum
mer Jaunt, and eighteen magazines en-
titled the Prairie Flower, from my friend,
Judge S. a. Reavis, of your city.
In his letter the Judge states that we
are indebted to you for this kind and
generous gift to the Reavis Library, and
l can assure you that you will not only
have the sincere thanks of the readable
unf0rtunates of the present day, bu. in
the future the thanksgiving Of new
arrivals
As you are undoubtedly aware our state
Legislature in the past has never Rppro-
priated one cent for the purpose OF pur-
chasing literature for the insane, and as I
read from my friends letter the following
item: "Judge Abbott fully realizes the
necessity OF establishing the library,
and says that he will make
further Donations" it was indeed
g pleasant thought to know and
Llluh tLAL OuC VI Jul puUllC IGduluS men,
who will soon occupy his seat in the
Washington halls of law and wisdom,
does not forget the poor, unfortunate
insane Of his state at the North Texas
Lunstic Asylum.
My friend, Judge R5avis, has placed US
under an additional obligation by calling
your kind attention to this subject, ana
to quote once more from his letter, he
says:
sit may appear strange 20 you that one
who has been confined in an asylum and
subjected to regulations and restrictions
(Which, however repulsiVe, are neVerthe-
less necessary should ever desire to see
On asylum again. But could you but
have the fsintest glimmering conception
of the utter misery and despair endured
by me during the six months previous to
my going 70 the institute and contrast it
with my Joy at the return Of sanity and
great Improvement in general health, all
attributable TO the asylum, you would
we'll understand my regard for such in
stitutiOns." But 1 am trespsssing On your
time. The last quotation from the
judges letter is not the only one received
IN that strain; but numbers similar have
been received. In closing allow me to
say that your kindness has been placed On
the asylum record as future kindness will
also be dealt with. Yours truly,
THOMAS HALL, Librarian.
